LabelSmooth Operator.

Label smoothing is a mechanism to regularize the classifier layer. In machine 
learning, optimizing the log-likelihood of the correct label directly may 
cause two problems. First, it may result in overfitting: if the model learns 
to assign full probability to the ground-truth label for each training example,
it is not guaranteed to generalize. Second, it encourages the differences 
between the largest logit and all others to become large, reducing the ability 
of the model to adapt. Label smoothing is proposed to encourage the model to 
be less confident, which replaces the ground-truth label $y$ with the weighted 
sum of itself and some fixed distribution $\mu$, i.e.

$$
    \tilde{y} = (1 - \epsilon) * y + \epsilon * \mu,
$$

where $(1 - \epsilon)$ and $\epsilon$ are the weights respectively, and 
$\tilde{y}$ is the smoothed label. Usually uniform distribution is used for 
$\mu$. This change in the ground-truth label is called label-smoothing 
regularization or LSR.
